Some issues, such as the On-Site Effluent Treatment Regional Plan, have been on the boil whilst a host of others remain on the simmer awaiting positive direction or otherwise. Your committee has again devoted considerable time and effort in attempting to ensure that our ratepayer dollars are fairly and equitably distributed, and that any outcome in terms of regulation changes, funding proposals, or other decisions are appropriate and acceptable, firstly for those upon whom they impact directly, and secondly for the District as a whole. We believe, and sincerely hope, that our interest and intervention has helped to realise or at least enhance the expectations of our communities. The Association is once again grateful for the solid backing received from its more than 400 subscribers who provide the strength and support behind the many submissions and requests which are made on behalf of Rotoiti stakehol ders .

  • December 1997
    DECEMBER 1997 Kia Ora Greetings from the Lake With the end of another year fast approaching, it is time to provide an update on activities and occurences since our June Newsletter. As Local Government bodies continue to take on greater responsibilities the result is closer consultation with communities and individuals. This reflects a growing awareness of how co-ordinated efforts can develop and expand initiatives. Our pro-active participation in this arena, whilst creating extra workloads, means that we remain to the forefront in our aim to represent the interests and aspirations of all who live within the Lake Rotoiti catchment along with those who visit the area for recreation and pleasure. There is a growing need to ensure that an ecological balance is maintained in the face of ever increasing pressures on the lakes and their environs. It is essential that community organisations such as ourselves continue to seek appropriate decisions and solutions in meeting the demands of progress whilst promoting fundamental improvements to our own quality of life. Again, we extend thanks to our sponsors and advertisers along with the many of you who subscribed to the Association. Your ongoing support will enhance our ability to pursue the many issues of importance which affect our localities. We trust that you find this Newsletter of interest and wish each and everyone of you a very merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.
